    GR Yaris What did you do to your GR Yaris today?

    Today went for a wet greasy leafy twisty 120km B-road blast on the Cup2's... :love: 14-15°C air temperature, tyres hardly managed to warm up, but I was amazed at the grip of these Cup2's nontheless. Anyhow, once the temperatures drop around 10°C, it'll be time to switch back to the OEM BBS...

    Hi, maybe try another Toyota dealer ? I was not fully satisfied with the "initial" GR dealer so I went to a normal Toyota dealer, where they did, and still do, everything as expected.

    GR Yaris Where to buy extended thread lug nuts?

    HI Duke, Have you managed to find the desired wheel nuts ? This might come a bit late, but I have a set from DP (www.drivenproducts.com) shank nuts that don't pass through my WedsSport wheels, the bore is too small. The shank's outside diameter is 15.7mm. If your after market wheel's bore is at...

    Yes those copper bits sticking out slightly and when the pad wears down to the limit the copper blade rubs on the disc and squeals every time you touch the brakes. That's the wear indicator, simple, cheap, efficient. Found on the inner pad only, because by measurement I have noticed that the...

    No I mean those copper bits sticking out slightly and when the pad wears dpwn to the limit the copper blade rubs on the disc and squeals every time you touch the brakes. That's the wear indicator, simple, cheap, efficient. On the inside pad only.

    GR Yaris (Gen 2) GR Yaris TE37 Fitment Advice: 18×8.5J vs 18×9.5J for 245/255 Tyres

    For me the sweet spot is 18 x 8.5J ET40-45 with 235/40/18 tyres. More than enough grip with semi-slicks like Cup2 or A052, AD09 etc.

    Mine is Gen 1, (but GEn2 have same brakes). On the OE pads, the wear indicators are on the inside pads only. Because the inside pads wear down slightly quicker than the outside pads.

    It's not the OEM cap that leaks, it's the expansion tank nozzle where the cap is fitted that is purposely split and when the heat & pressure reaches a certain limit, the split expands and releases some coolant.

    Fitted an expansion tank overflow catch can inspired from TGRR from Tonic's post. No more coolant spill on the side of the engine.

    Fitted a cooling duct to the MAP sensor on the intake manifold. Inspired by TGR Rally-2 and TGRR endurance thanks to Tonic's post here : https://www.gr-zoo.com/threads/reverse-engineering-the-tg-rr-gr-yaris-part-1-%E2%80%93-engine-bay.9819/#post-135618

    GR Yaris What did you do to your GR Yaris today?

    The isnside pad is the one that gets slightly more wear than the outside pad. That's why the limit copper blade (which is on the inside pad only) will start squealing before that gap closes !
